A MURDER TRIAL.
Henry Baker Accused of Having
Killed a Relative With Poison.

Killed Il Relative With Poison.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK. Oak, March 31.-The trial
of Henry G. Baker for the murder of Peter
Olsen has occupied the attention of court
during the day. The evidence of the pros
eculion, which ceased at p. m. to-day,
was all the evidence of witnesses to whom
Baker told the story shortly after the kill
ing. and is in substance as follows: Baker
married Olsen's sister, and liv ed on
an adjoining farm in Emmons county. Dec.
IL, 1886, Baker met Olsen and wanted to
borrow some money to make his wife
Christmas present. Olsen didn't have it
with him, but told defendant to come over
to his place that evening and get it, De-
fendant went home and his wife fixed
up dish of pie and cake
money he took it. He at the same time took
at Bismarck for killing wolves. Olsen told
defendant to put up his horse and he would
set the table and have supper; when de-
fendant got back Olsen had everything ready
and they sat down. Defendant
TASTED THE PIE
and instantly discovered peculiar pricking
SENSATION through HIS tongue anu SlnelI
something like ether. He instantly sus-
pected that Olsen was trying to poison him
and excused himself from eating. Olsen
ate his piece of pie, and when defendant
got up to go Olsen told him he intended to
kill him, and struck at him several times and
followed him out of the door. Defendant
ran and got out of reach and escaped. The
same story was told by defendant to several
witnesses, but the strong point against him
is that the same morning he went to Will
Transport and told the coroner he thought
Olsen was dead. The defendant went with
the party to find the body and when all
were about to pass by the place defendant
stopped and the body was discovered only a
few PAGES distant. The trial will be re-
Sumed at $50 tomorrow morning

THE BANDoY REACH.


0, we love TO stroll,
Where the pillows roll,
On cheerful and cloudless day;
And roam DER the strands,
With their jewelled sands,
And to watch the wild waves al play.
The water it raves
In the sounding caves,
In the gloomy and dark dehles-
Rushing and dashing,
Seething and splashing,
Through the echoing, somber aislcs.
Or, rippling in ripples,
Smiles and dimples,
They steal up so softly and slow,
To startle some pet,
Whom they often met,
On other fair shores long ago!
Sitting on rock,
Beyond the shock
OF the incoming, angry wave,
We think Of this life
lis sorrows and strife,
And the life that's beyond the grave.
There, with shining band,
In Summer land, >
In that land OF ancient story
We hope We will be,
Through eternity,
In happiness, peace and glory.
Then! cheer up, sad one!
Come! Take courage, men!
The Heavens are brilliant with light.
And the glad ray
OF the coming day
Peeps through:-You've passed the night!
